A few years ago I was talking with a venture capitalist and asked him “how does Elon manage to run two companies?” He straight up told me “Elon doesn’t run SpaceX, Gwynne Shotwell runs SpaceX.” It was kind of a funny moment and I thought I would share the story in more detail here. To be clear, Elon still plays a really critical role at SpaceX, but his most impactful move was probably empowering Gwynne to make SpaceX actually deliver all of these crazy goals.
ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am the co-founder of http://soylent.com and http://lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for nearly a decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in silicon valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in total funding.
I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.
